Favorite John Lennon Quote: "When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."
One of the most profound lyrics in popular music - "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.:" The older I get, the more that hits home. Bless you both, your daughters and your new son.
Brian Williams must be a Lennon fan - every Friday, he ends his broadcast with "Have a good weekend unless you have other plans." ;)
@@Shrykespeare What a beautiful soul Brian is.. thanks for sharing this!
Always thought the same and recall this line often, keeping myself humble with a heart full of gratitude for every moment with those I love.
That’s my favorite line of the song.
Yep, I've been quoting those words ever since I heard the song 40 yrs ago. Beautiful song!
The absolutely heartbreaking part of this beautiful, beautiful song is that, just four months after recording this wonderful declaration of how much he was looking forward to his journey with his son, John Lennon was robbed of that journey by the monster who killed him. But at least he had the opportunity to release this for his son to hear and know how much his father loved him.
He had that opportunity with Julian but he never took it. That's at least as heartbreaking.
@@EarmonkeyMusic Everyone knows John wasn't perfect, and yes it is equally as heart breaking. Kind of a strange dig though, he was a different man when he had Sean, still not perfect, but was trying.
@@richo6537 It's not a strange dig if you listen to anything Julian has to say about it.
@@EarmonkeyMusic The comment was about Sean, who he obviously was a better father to, and you brought up Julian just to say he wasn't good to him. I find that strange to add. I have heard what Julian has said, that's what I meant by not perfect. I'm not trying to argue, I just didn't understand why you brought Julian and John's relationship into it.
@@EarmonkeyMusic Julian was unfortunate this is true. John was far from perfect. He and Julian at this exact time were starting to get close. He even talks about it on the movie Imagine. John also wasn’t completely absent from Julian’s life completely. First 10 years of his life there is different periods you can see video of Julian with him. I think Julian would prefer for people not to keep digging at this all the time. He is even close with Sean. The media tried to give people a different view but Julian and Sean are together quite often he told a reporter at his Art show last year.
“Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans”
One of my favorite quotes ever.
I agree 100%. It's so true.
John was told this quote, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans", by Tommy Smothers of the Smothers Brothers.
This was for Sean Lennon, John's only son with Yoko Ono. Sean is also a musician, as is John's oldest son Julian. Check out "Too Late For Goodbyes" by Julian.
They should react to some of Sean Ono Lennon's stuff with Lee Clay pool on bass, it is outstanding, proggy but in their own interesting way. They do an amazing cover of Tomorrow Never Knows live, incredible stuff. Enjoy! 😎

Les Claypool, damn spell check.
Shawn can't be compared to Julian Lennon talent. Though Shawn has tried. Shawn is his mom's son
Yes! He has his own gig now! ❤️
I love the scene with this song from “Mr Holland’s Opus”. Such a touching scene between father and son.
superb movie
A lot of good music in that show, the girl singing Someone to Watch Over Me, was special
Yeah. This movie and especialy this scene pops right up in my head. Beautyful Cole! Nice one!
Must watch Mr. Holland's Opus. Richard Dreyfus a music teacher!!
That’s exactly what I thought of too! Great movie, great song!!
It’s so sad that he was unable to do the things he looked forward to in this song. 🌺✌️
In fact he was killed right after this. By the first time I heard this song back in, I think 1980, he was gone.
The album was released on November 17, 1980 and he was murdered on December 8, exactly three weeks later.
I've always felt like John knew he wasn't going to be there to see Sean grow up, which is why he was so adamant about devoting 5 solid years to him away from the spotlight.
John was killed when I was 14, and I think his death was the first musician’s death that really hit me hard. We were watching tv when they broke in for a Special Report.
Always get teary eyed listening to this.
John realized that he hadn't been around as much as a father should be for his 1st son, Julian. He'd been born as The Beatles became world famous amid the Beatlemania whirlwind.
So later, when Sean was born John stayed home to be a full-time dad & house husband while Yoko handled their business matters. It was 5 years of bliss for John. Then he & Yoko went back into the studio & made a new album together, including this song.
They were coming home from the studio when John was shot at the entrance to their apartment building. He had just turned 40. It was covered on the news & in the press as if it had been a Presidential assassination. Such was the impact John & The Beatles had had culturally, on everything from music & fashion to the peace movement.
Millions of people around the world reeled from the shock of it. Those of us who grew up with The Beatles music still feel the loss. John was a genius who gave a lot to us with his immense talents. We're happy though that John's last years were serene & happy.💙🌿💚
Well said
Good, accurate synopsis Deborah. It is really hard to explain what a crushing impact it had on so many of us when Lennon was murdered. And while true that this song is so sweet & a reflection of a parent's love for his son...for me it always a sad reminder that John was murdered just a month after this song was released.
To bad John didn't write a song for Julian he screwed Julian bad
@@teresarodriguez-cd5qh ...So Paul wrote one of the most famous song of all time for the poor kid Julian. John's treatment of his first family always bothered me. But Hey Jude is the better song, but that's just my humble opinion...
@@nathalieplum2137 We don't need to worry about our humble opinions. lol. It's a fact! Hey Jude without question is a better song. Chart topping at the time in the U.S. UK, Canada & Australia. The song is considered one of the best songs ever written. I lost all respect for John many years ago but it was still a tragedy when he was murdered. I will always have great respect for Paul McCartney for being there for Julian and writing Hey Jude to comfort him. Count the number of people in the word that can sing along to Hey Jude (in it's entirety) now count the number that can sing one line of this song. Not saying it's not a nice song but.........from a baby boomer Hey Jude is hard to outdo.
Welcome home, and congrats to the whole family - glad everyone is safe and well! Peace and love, thanks for another great song choice.
+1
Ditto
Just so sad that he didn't actually get to see this child grow up...Sean was only 5 when John was shot. Really makes you understand how absolutely precious every moment is...
And even sadder he totally renounced his first born, Julian. Lennom stated publicly and repeatedly that he considered Sean his only child. Reprehensible.
Crazy to imagine that Sean Lennon is now 45 years old and older than his dad was when he was killed!!
@@heronpage3883 Not true. More the opposite. John's will had Julian receiving an income instead of a lump sum. Julian wanted all the money up front. He said a lot of negative things about his father while he was suing his estate for the lump sum. John didn't want him growing up as a privileged rich kid.
@@debjorgo In the
divorce settlement between John and his first wife Cynthia, Julian’s mother, Julian would receive £2,400 a year in maintenance before inheriting a £50,000 trust fund when he was 25 years-old, vs leaving his entire estate of about $220,000,000 to Yoko and Sean. I guess he didn't care if Sean grew up to be a privileged rich kid.
@@OpheliaSees £50,000 seems pretty low. Thanks for the correction.
John Lennon also wrote Good Night as a lullaby for his elder son Julian. It's the last track on the white album and is sung by Ringo, and I love it, too
Good suggestion!
I just wanted to add that I think this song is a lullaby on its own. Put this on your phone(s), turn it on softly and just rock and stare at your beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy 💙
"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." That showed up on a lot of posters back in the day. The future cannot be known or controlled. I wish you the very best.
Harry Chapin's "Cats in Cradle" a song about a Father and his son - is a must listen/reaction
Love the song....but sad
As a man/father who literally lived that song. I absolutely can't listen to it without bawling like a baby.
I agree, incredible song. This is the only song that has made my husband cry. 💔
@@dianepowell2570 Yes, very sad.
Yes, a must listen!
Always gets me emotional knowing he didn't see his boys grow up. I miss John Lennon. 😔
I know it's not the same as having him with them but to have THE John Lennon as your father, IMAGINE that! The Working Class Hero himself
Me too🥲🥲
Even sadder is that one was by choice.
He saw Julian grow up some and he was a shitty dad
@@koki84ji7 people make mistakes, john was young and ill equipped and even he acknowledged his failures to Julian.
I've never heard this song before ... Having had two baby boys, I can relate to this song. After my oldest boy was killed, I was encouraged by my grief counselor to either journal or write some poetry. I'd never taken time to do any kind of writing. But I wrote a poem I titled "Beautiful Brown-Eyed Boy". I worked on it for months, writing and editing it over and over again -- crying the entire time. It helped so much to get the grief out. I love this little song (which was obviously written for Sean Lennon).
I just lost my beautiful boy in June due to drugs, but that in no way made him any less beautiful, I love and miss him so much, he was only 36, taken much to young, this song makes the tears flow.
So sorry for your loss ❤😢
You can share with us, we have a shoulder. I am sorry that happened. ❤️
You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful song for a new baby boy, always loved this song by John Lennon… Enjoy
Ahhh, a good song for Luca. Welcome back. Nice background; I’m liking it!
I like the colorful brick wall, but I really like this, very home like.
When John was murdered (when Sean was only 5, when this album, Double Fantasy, had just been released), I was too shocked and stunned to cry. You know how that is? It wasn't until the first time I listened to the album, by myself one afternoon, and heard this song for the first time, that my heart truly broke.
My absolute favorite quote from Lennon comes from this:
LLife is what happens to you while your busy making other plans.
Congratulations!! Mama is a trooper.
OMG! Lennon. Great song by him. Perfect for your baby boy. 💖 Love the new studio. Two minutes in and y'all have me in tears. 😭 So sweet.
Congratulations Jordan and Amber on your new son! This is the perfect song for Luca’s arrival💐
This song is off John's final album, "Double Fantasy". Though he could not have known it at the time, he got a chance to leave a farewell song, this one, for his son Sean and "Woman" for his wife Yoko on it. They are two of my favorites. People often forget that he also wrote a lullaby for his first son, Julian, when the Beatles were still together. It is called "Good Night" which is the final track on the so-called 'White Album.' That song was sung by Ringo because John was too macho at the time to allow himself to be heard singing it, but of course, he was not too macho to write it.
The lyrics are very different. There's no praise for Julian in Good Night; it's a generic lullaby. In Beautiful Boy, he mentions Sean by name at the end. Julian's name is not included in Good Night. It might be a lullaby he sang to Julian and even wrote to sing to Julian, but it was recorded while he was having an affair while still married to Cynthia his first wife.
@@eileenfeltes3570 I agree Julian got the short end of the stick cuz John was not a good husband ur father then til he grew up more that's why Paul sang hey Jude which is about Julian. I believe they were mending their relationship when he died then yoko played him dirty by making him bid in a auction for the letters him and his dad wrote to each so mean imo
@@eileenfeltes3570 Thanks for spoiling a beautiful moment.
Had this song on a mixed cd that played when both my boys were coming into the world! CONGRATULATIONS!
💙💙
Welcome back guys! More Lennon, please! "Woman" and "Watching the Wheels" are classics. Love the new decor! Sir Tom, Amy W, Freddie, Frank, and of course, BARRY! Bit o'trivia - "Beautiful Boy" was the B-side to "Watching the Wheels" when the latter was released as a single in 1981... a year after John's death.
Jealous guy too or instant karma ( if they haven't yet ) or so this is Christmas
Also Instant Karma; Mind Games.
@@raenellefisher8514 oh yes i forgot mind games. Agreed
Another vote for all of the songs mentioned but especially “Woman”
Yes! Please react to "Woman".
❤🧡💛💛💚
Love to mom, respect to dad. You bless the world with the adults you raise from brand new. Thank you both for being lovely examples of Parenthood.
lennons genius was there right up to the end
Congratulations on your beautiful son! You have hands down the best reaction channel. I love your sincerity and enthusiasm. So glad to see such decent people having your success. Prayers for continued blessings for your family.
It was always so sad to me that John wasn't able to live out this song. He was really starting to become a real father to Julian and was so happy with Sean. I'm so glad you all got to hear this and it meant so much to you both! Much love! J.
John and Yoko had struggled with fertility for years, and had almost given up when son Sean was conceived. He was born on John's birthday. Sean became John's life. He stopped recording music and stayed at home and raised him mostly on his own while Yoko handled the business matters.They were incredibly close, and he wrote this song for Sean while they were on vacation in the Bahamas.
Yeah, it was such a devastating loss when some no name took John's life. I think Sean was only around 5? Is that right? I know Jullian was close to adulthood. Let me know please... I think that's right.
@@karensilvera6694 Julian was 17 when John was murdered
This song has one of the best lines ever " Life is what happens when you are making other plans "
Our first baby was still born in 1984, we named him Sean after this song.
❤
Sorry for your loss, just can't imagine.
❤
Your spot looks great! Baby Luka is beautiful, your online family is so happy for you! 💜💜💜💜
He wrote this beautiful song for his son, Sean, that he stayed home and took care of for the first five years of Sean’s life. Sean was only 5 when John was so senselessly murdered…
The most beautiful song a dad ever wrote to his son
I can just hear you singing this to Luca at night. Congrats, you two!
Wow I was about to recommend this considering the arrival of your son! Great song for all the Dads
From 1975 when his son Sean was born to 5 years later when John went back into the studio and recorded this, John was a house husband and stayed home to raise Sean. Beautiful Boy is a testament to his ensuring fatherly love. Thanks for this! 😃 👍
Welcome back y’all! And may I say that your new space looks sick👌🏼...you should listen to “Forever Young” from Rod Stewart which touches on what you said Jordan.
I have 2 boys.....they are 38 and 39 now. What hit me, is the fact I was raising MEN, at that time men were the head of the house and the provider.So we raised them in church......learning hard work early ..... chores, and respect for the older gen. Women and the whole human race. Marrige is a long term commitment. As momma, I could not be prouder of my sons, there is nothing they wouldnt do for me. There is a definate bond between a mother and son.Just remember this. A man is his mothers until he is wed....a girl is her mothers until she is dead. A man shall leave his mother and a girl will leave her home. I have always remembered that, and my DILs are now my girls.He is beautiful!!!!!congratz
Well, as soon as I wipe away all of these tears, I will be able to type. lol This song is so special and it is especially special now that it is associated with Luca's start in life. You guys are the BEST parents and deserve so much happiness and joy which I'm sure that your children will provide for you. Thank you so much for being you.... Take care and be well. Peace.
Your room looks great!
That was a whole lot of smile. Dig it! CONGRATS on the lil baby man. Good stuff.
"The monster's gone..."
That part of the song is kinda like Sandman in reverse...
Glad he woke up to what a gift a child is.
Sad Julian (his son with first wife Cynthia) couldn't have had more of this side of him.
Ironic that each boy got 5 years of his time. Julian was 5 when John left the family and Sean was 5 when John was murdered. Of course, John was a stay at home father when Sean was a child so he actually spent more time with Sean as he was at the height of his career & touring the globe when Julian was small.
It’s not much unfortunately, but at least John tried to make amends with Julian in his final years.
@@edgarlazaro859 It was when John was briefly separated from Yoko that he started to reconnect with Julian
Paul McCartney said this is his fav Lennon song
Congrats guys, My son just turned 28 and this song still brings tears to my eyes.
This song makes me tear up every time. Especially when he sings the lines:
I can hardly wait to see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both just have to be patient.
Of course John never got to go very far along that path, when his journey was cut short soon after Sean's fifth birthday,.
i came here after yoko shared your reaction on twitter and this made me cry so much, it's so sad that john didn't get to go on that journey with sean physically but i know he never really left, he lives on in precious moments like this - and i'm so happy for you and your baby boy! congratulations and i hope you have a wonderful time raising your beautiful boy
Congrats on the birth of your son. Yes, great song, the whole album was one that I enjoyed. I can "imagine", if John had lived, we might have been blessed with song collaborations from John Lennon with both of his talented sons. What could have been, no doubt, would have been fantastic. Don't spoil your boy too much now!
Congrats you guys. Good to hear that things went smooth. Welcome to life, Luca!! Great choice for a reaction.
Love the new room! Always get a smile listening with you
My Dad used to quote John Lennon when I was growing up. He always told me that when a man falls in love with a woman, he should mean it. Walk hand in hand with her for life.
So glad to hear you've got a healthy, happy baby. Was admittedly a bit concerned when I noticed you weren't posting for a few days, but then figured y'all were just taking some well-deserved time away to usher that new life into the world.
I started crying because this song was on John's last album before was senselessly murdered. Sean Lennon lost his dad when he was only 5 years old. So sad.
Julian lost his dad when he was 5 as well. That's when John divorced his wife after cheating with Yoko. John only cared about Sean, which makes him a horrible father in my opinion.
The room is awesome. The song is sweet, but Luca's parents are sweeter.
This song always makes me SOB crying. RIP John. What a gorgeous tribute to his beautiful son.
Congratulations and it’s amazing that you’re back here with us already. Your smiles and emotions during this reaction just brightened my day, thank you guys again.
Great song choice!! This song was featured in the Mr. Peabody and Sherman movie from about five years ago. Congrats on your beautiful boy.
Congratulations you two there's a unique and beautiful version of this song in the movie Mr Holland's Opus with Richard Dreyfuss that always comes to mind when I hear this
Gotta be in the top 5 of all-time beautiful John Lennon songs.
It's so sad listening to this song, all the promises of the future. John was murdered when Sean was five.
It's also sad that he didn't seem to care as much for the son he had prior to his child with Yoko
@@jillmayer9501 exactly he was a nasty person 👍
@@josmith2031 Did you know him personally then? Interesting...do tell us some personal stories of his nastiness.
@@josmith2031 Did you know throughout his entire solo career, all his concert income went straight to charity? Did you know he held a benefit concert for disabled children where he raised millions? Did you know he bought the entire city police force bulletproof vests just before he was sadly gunned down himself? Do your research before making silly judgmental comments 👍🏻
@@TheLennonYears👋👋👋👋🥳🥳🥳🥳
Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" is a good one for welcoming a new baby. He wrote it for his daughter. You can change the pronoun when you sing it.
Or 'you are the sunshine of my life'
Will Smith's "Just the Two of Us".
@@davidgalvez5341 Grover Washington Jr written by Bill Withers!
Daryl Hall wrote “Sarah Smile” for his daughter, though most people think he’s singing it to a gf.
This song is one of my favorites. I wore out the record because I played the album so much. I also love that name Aisha(I hope I spelt it right)
Welcome back and with a great song too. Cheers!
Amber , you ROCK!!!! So happy Luca is here. Healthy and beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
First off congratulations on the new addition to the family. Paul McCartney picked this song of John's as one of his Desert Island Discs. It's so sad that John grew up without a dad and both his sons also grew up without a dad too! Stay safe 🤘 ✌
I cry every time I hear this song. Such a beautiful song from the heart of a proud father. Although they only had 5 years together, Sean will always know how much his father loved him. This was a wonderful suggestion. Thank you to whomever suggested it. This is just perfect for Jordan and Amber. Congratulations!!
That bit where he sings 'I can hardly wait to see you come of age' always does me in, because, of course, he didn't.
So happy for y'all. Glad everyone is healthy.
So sweet, made me cry. I'm so excited for you guys and so happy everyone is healthy and happy and that you're home! Enjoy every moment with your 3 sweet babies! My youngest is 30 now and that time goes by quicker than you can imagine.
Congratulations again Rob Squad on your new "Beautiful Boy"!!
LOVE the new reaction space!! Great job decorating with all your beautiful gifts ❤
Congratulations!!! Just discovered your channel a few days ago and you’ve kept me up late now trying to just watch one more reaction. Your personalities are great and your comments are so perfect. My suggestion for female Friday is Alison Krauss. Bluegrass artist. Most songs are pretty chill. But she has a voice that’s angelic. My recommendation for songs: A Living Prayer. Ghost in this House. When you say nothing at all. Any of the three would be great. Can’t wait to catch up on your videos!!
Congrats on the baby boy y'all! Texas shout out
Perfect. Great suggestion and selection. BTW luv ur poster and décor selection. Looks great!
Congratulations guys!!! I’m a 62 year old man and I tear 😥 up every time I hear this song. It contains some of my favorite lyrics ever… “life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans”. Sadly, Sean never got to know his dad and John never got to watch him “come of age” 😢
The day we brought my baby boy home I held him and listen to father and son by Cat Stevens and balled my eyes out! Congrats m'man!
Congrats friends! If you liked this check out his song “starting over”
Nice to have you back and congratulations!
Like the new background, too.
Welcome home! Also I love love love the filming room so much! It is looking awesome!
Another gem of a song imo is by White Lion "When The Children Cry".....awesome message 💗🕊️. Congrats on the new member of the Rob Squad 💜👣.
Another beautiful dad song is Danny's Song by Kenny Loggins
Aw welcome back guys and congratulations 🥳❤️🥰
I cannot listen to this without crying. What was & what was never to be... because of a mad man.
His son Sean is an accomplished musician that deserves a listen too.
Both sons are musician's 😎👍
This song is just too sad, when you think that Sean was just 5 years old when he tragically lost his dad... the lyrics hit differently when you think about that.
"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans"
Welcome back! Your smiles just light up a day! Oh, and the new background looks so great.
Congrats guys…missed you these last three days but the good news is so worth the wait!
The lyric " Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans" is classic!
Welcome back and congratulations. 😃 I love this song. It's so appropriate for the occasion. I can't believe you're back to making videos already. You guys must be so tired. Honestly, you could take more time off, we'd all understand.
This song hits hard after you have a son. I remember watch Mr. Peabody and Sherman with my young boys when the song came on and tears just started rolling down my cheeks.
I love your faces at the very end of the song. You both have your eyes closed with such serene smiles! Congratulations again.
I just wish he would have loved his first son like this. Sorry I always think of poor, ignored Julian during this song.
💯agree
I'm glad somebody pointed that out. He wasn't so great with Julian and that's such a shame. I felt for Julian not having the same kind of relationship as Sean and their father.
I was going to comment the same. Such a shame he didn't know his dad as well as Sean.
same. i always felt really bad that julian didn't really have a good relationship with his father. glad paul was there for him though
I agree!
I absolutely love this song and I know it hits close to your heart. There's an amazing song by Lynyrd Skynyrd called Simple Man that is a great love song for a mother to her son.
Welcome back!!!! Love the studio!
You can ✔ off your goal for the day because your reactions definitely made me smile!!! I think the whole Rob Squad Family has fallen in love with your whole family. 💙🧡🧡🧡💙 thank you for blessing us!!
I am such a Lennon fan ever since he first appeared on the scene when I was 12 in 1964. I go to Strawberry Fields in Central Park NYC, across from the hotel where he lived and died, every year on December 8th (the date he died) to hold a vigil with thousands of others. It is songs like this we are so grateful for…he has enhanced our lives in so many ways with his music. RIP John…you will never ever leave our broken hearts…💔
Now you need to listen to Joni Mitchell's "The Circle Game." Trust me.
Great suggestion!
Yes, that is a good one.
Very appropriate. Beautiful song also.
Congratulations on your new arrival! ❤
Great reaction-- thanks for brightening my day! :)
"Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)" is a song written and performed by John Lennon. It was released on the 1980 album Double Fantasy, the last album by Lennon and Ono released before his death.
Paul McCartney has stated this is one of his favourite songs composed by Lennon, and when he appeared on Desert Island Discs in 1982 included it as his favourite in his selection, as did Yoko Ono as the only John Lennon song in 2007.
It was used as the B-side of "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" to promote the compilation album The John Lennon Collection in November 1982.
The song was for Lennon's son, Sean, his only child with Yoko Ono. It begins with John comforting his son from what is presumably a nightmare and develops into John passionately describing the love he has for his son and the joy Sean gave him.
At the end of the song, John Lennon whispers, "Good night, Sean. See you in the morning. Bright and early."
The lyrics of "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)" contain the famous Allen Saunders 1957 Readers Digest quote "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans”.
John Lennon - vocals, acoustic guitar, vocoder
Earl Slick - acoustic guitar
Hugh McCracken - lead guitar
Tony Levin - bass guitar
George Small - keyboards
Robert Greenidge - steelpan
Arthur Jenkins - percussion
Randy Stein - English concertina
Steelpan (also known as steel pan, steel drum or pan, and sometimes, collectively with other musicians, as a steelband or orchestra) is a musical instrument originating from Trinidad and Tobago. Steelpan musicians are called pannists.
The modern pan is a chromatically pitched percussion instrument made from 55 gallon industrial drums.
Drum refers to the steel drum containers from which the pans are made; the steel drum is more correctly called a steel pan or pan as it falls into the idiophone family of instruments, and so is not a drum (which is a membranophone). Steelpans are the only instruments made to play in the Pythagorean musical cycle of fourths and fifths.
The pan is struck using a pair of straight sticks tipped with rubber; the size and type of rubber tip varies according to the class of pan being played. Some musicians use four pansticks, holding two in each hand. This skill and performance have been conclusively shown to have grown out of Trinidad and Tobago's early 20th-century Carnival percussion groups known as tamboo bamboo. The pan is the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago.
The English concertina is a member of the concertina family of free-reed musical instruments. Invented in England in 1829, it was the first instrument of what would become the concertina family.
It is a fully chromatic instrument, having buttons in a rectangular arrangement of four staggered rows; its buttons are unisonoric, producing the same note on both the push and pull of the bellows. It differs from other concertinas in that the scale is divided evenly between the two hands, such that playing a scale involves both hands alternately playing each note in sequence.
